Councillor Paul DeHoest

I was elected for the first time as a Town Councillor for Berkhamsted Castle Ward in May 2019.

My responsibilities include sitting on the Town Planning and Finance & Policy Committees as well as the Allotment Management Group and the Parking Management Forum. I also attend the Dacorum Environment Forum.

I moved to Berkhamsted from the Midlands with my young family in 1996 where my three children have all grown up and who now live and work in London. I have been a regular commuter to London and Midlands cities where I have worked in the financial services industry as a risk management professional.

My motivation to be involved in public service stems from my deep concern to protect and nurture the natural world upon which we all rely to survive and also a concern that every person should have an equal opportunity to be their best.
